"The problem with the jane movie is how he goes after howard saint. The punisher isn’t about teaching enemies a lesson, or making them the master of their own demise. Most times he just wants them dead. They don’t need to suffer (unless he wants info from them), they just need to die so they don’t hurt anyone else. "
Very true, and I believe that the film was building up to that Punisher. That is who Frank is at the end of the film. At least that is how I felt after I saw it.
In terms of harry heck, you aren’t referring to that crazy old guy are you? They are two seperate characters in WBF. Heck didn’t do squat in the comic he just got shot in the face if I remember correctly
Besides I think they wanted him be more proactive than he was during the year one story(although the scene where he threw the adulterer threw the living room window would have been sweet)
"I am a big fan of Enis Punisher as well and he is a goofy writer, but those goofy ass antics do not translate well on screen. "
Those goofy ass antics didn’t work in the comic either, and again the film severely toned that crap down. Seriously, who writes a character that just keeps yelling “spacker dave!” every other second?
If you don’t like the Jane film fine, people wanted the Max punisher and they didn’t get him. But it was a good film, the cast and crew obviously tried to be true to the source material, lifted tons of moments,images, and dialogue, made the film more realistic, didn’t resort to a bunch of crummy CG(CG is action flicks and horror films never works), and made a solid film to start a series of punisher films.
Complaining that the film shared nothing with the comics is just completely unfounded. Am I the only one who read Punisher year one?
I agree that his old origin story was far better, but the new one was servicable.
And Jane did wear body armor.
I really want the new punisher film to be good, but from what I’ve seen and what the supposed script is I’m not too sure about it.
anyway since we are talking punisher, which series does eveyone here prefer? My fav is the armory series and I like max as well. The new war journal seems pretty good although apparently I’ve missed all the really crappy issues.
